Making your own Dhammacakka
| Take a square of plain or coloured paper and
fold it into quarters as shown in fig. 1. Fold it diagonally. (In fig. 1 the original centre of the paper is bottom, right.) Fold diagonally again, as in fig. 2. Cut along the curved lines. Remove the white area - leaving the 'shaded' portion, as in fig. 3. Unfold this 'shaded' portion and you should have an eight-spoked wheel which you can decorate You could hang it up or make it into a flag. Try making several and threading them on a string. You could give them away as presents. |
